Meet Ellie & Rory
Ellie-Marie Wilson is a New York travel columnist sent to the remote Highland village of Kilbray to write about its heritage and tourism. Rory MacKenzie is the charming, reckless local bagpiper everyone knows as The Wild Rover. Their attraction is immediate, inconvenient and impossible to ignore, but Rory’s secrets and dangerous debts threaten far more than Ellie’s carefully guarded heart.

The Story
Ellie-Marie Wilson arrives in the Scottish Highlands expecting an assignment. She does not expect Rory MacKenzie.
Charming, infuriating and impossible to overlook, Rory seems to embody everything Ellie has come to Kilbray to write about. But beneath the easy smile and local legend is a man carrying secrets that could threaten both his future and the community he loves.
As Ellie is drawn further into Rory’s world, what begins as attraction becomes something far more difficult to walk away from. Because falling for The Wild Rover might be the easiest part. Surviving everything that comes with him is another matter entirely.
